Introduction

Cognitive, social, developmental, and health psychology, as well as behavioural neuroscience and biopsychology, are all included in Psychological Science. The journal often publishes papers that use cutting-edge research procedures and cutting-edge analysis approaches. Psychology is a science that promotes society and improves our lives. Psychologists study the connections between brain function and behaviour, as well as the environment and behaviour, with the goal of improving our understanding of the world around us.

Psychology is a broad subject. Psychologists undertake basic and applied research, consult with communities and organisations, diagnose and treat patients, and educate future psychologists and others interested in other fields. They put your intelligence and personality to the test. Many psychologists work in the medical field. They evaluate behavioural and mental health as well as well-being. Other psychologists investigate how people interact with one another and with computers, with the goal of improving these connections. As people learn how to make choices that improve their health and wellbeing, psychological study can help reduce the economic cost of disease on government and society. Educational evaluations have made significant progress in assisting kids with learning impairments. Psychological science aids educators in gaining a better understanding of how children comprehend, process, and recall information.

Psychologists do study using the scientific method. The scientific method is a process for making observations, collecting data, formulating ideas, testing predictions, and interpreting outcomes that is standardised. Observations are made by researchers in order to characterise and measure behaviour. Psychologists aren't the only ones trying to figure out why people behave the way they do and how to tackle social problems. Philosophers, religious leaders, and politicians, among others, are all attempting to explain human behaviour. However, psychologists believe that research is the most effective technique for learning about people and their interactions with others. Rather than adopting a philosopher's argument that humans have free will, a psychologist would gather data to experimentally assess whether people can actively control their own behaviour. Rather than trusting a politician's claim that opening a new mental health centre will enhance the lives of people in the inner city, a psychologist would conduct an empirical study to see how obtaining mental health treatment affects people's lives.

Humanism is a psychological viewpoint that emphasises the examination of the entire person. Humanistic psychologists examine human behaviour not just from the perspective of the spectator, but also from the perspective of the person who is behaving. Humanistic psychologists believe that a person's actions are influenced by his or her inner sentiments and self-image. Scientific laws can be applied to any situation, but psychological explanations are frequently limited to specific times and locations. Psychology analyses the consequences of social and cultural changes on behaviour since it studies humans. Psychology does not take place in a vacuum. Over time and in diverse conditions, people's conduct evolves. Because of these factors, as well as individual variances, research findings are only reliable for a short period of time [1-5].
